I am a little suspicious of the half. It looks to me like there might be diagonally-running lines across the obverse? Not sure if this is just an odd toning or a sign of cleaning (maybe its neither and just my monitor, somehow the pics seem a little grainy to me). If the coin has been cleaned, you might have slightly overpaid, but given the details, you certainly did not get ripped off.

Well the good news is, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I can take a detailed picture of it and post it on here, so you guys can tell me to return it or not. I purchased it from GSC (great southern coins), so they are pretty reputable and will pay a full refund.

I think they are decent deals.
At 15 I was asking 1 question, "Would you like fries with that?" :(

LOL! Trust me, I am not some spoiled kid who just asks mommy for money. I save everything I get. In my account, I still have birthday money from when I was like 7 lol... Another great factor is that since my parents are divorced, I get holiday money and birthday money from both of them... Genius... Anyways, I finally figured out how to convert my pics to JPG... So here's the morgan that you guys have been dying to see. (JK)   Edited by madlou22

Well funny you asked. The pictures looked great of the coin, but when it actually came, there were terrible scratches and dents in it. I returned it today, but I plan on getting another coin instead. Here's te Lafayette dollar I am very interested in. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl..._1517wt_1093 |

I don't like that lafayette dollar at all, the look just does nothing for me. it coming from China doesn't give me a real warm fuzzy feeling either. It says he is from USA but in the description you can tell its in China Quote:

You shouldn't be mad. I agree with Bryan, and many other on this coin, something just doesn't look right.
